You have just joined the best Nintendo Wii modding community there is!!

Before you start, we ask that you please read the Forum Rules and try your best to follow them.
There are a few things in there that you really need to know prior to making any posts, so please take a few minutes to read them!

Now that you understand the basics of how the forum works, it is time to get to modding!

Already modded? In need of an update? Follow another mod guide from somewhere else and didn't have the best of luck?
The Softmod ANY Wii guide has you covered. It is regularly updated and tested by the staff here at WiiHacks. And YES, using this guide you can indeed Softmod ANY Wii!

So, now that you have your Wii modded, its time to start backing up those discs!
First, please make note that your Wii will not be able to play burned discs if it was made after mid 2009.
If you have a Wii newer than that, you will only be able to load games from a USB Hard Drive or Flash Drive (we highly recommend USB loading anyways ).
Before you decide to go spend that hard earned cash on a new USB drive, be sure to take a look at our USB Compatibility List.

Now that you have a compatible drive, take a look at Pob3008's [Guide] Fat32.
It will instruct you on how to properly set up your new drive and how to put your games on it!

YAY!!! So now you have your games on your new drive!
You are playing like crazy, then you decide to play a game that you haven't played since modding.
Oh NO!!! It wont work!!!
Have no fear! BMarlo is here! And so is his Ultimate List of Troublesome Games and their Solutions!

There are many other threads and guides around the site that give a ton of useful info.
Chances are most questions you have already have been answered at some point!
Do some searching and reading to find what you are looking for. In fact we even have a guide for that! Emuhack's [GUIDE] Ultimate Searching Tool [Guide].
